Dinghy Inflatable or?

I have a black Zodiac Serie 1 2.6 must be at leat 15 years old and is crude but works fine, besides the valves being a bit leaky it is in good condition. It has a wooden floor in 4 pieces. The main downsides are that being an old one it 1) has no rowlocks, and 2) has a flat hull whereas modern ones have a shaped hull for better directional stability and easier rowing. Would I buy another inflatable nest time? I think so.
 
ok - strange about the name ZED -- anyway my Zodiac were not off white but blue and grey with 5 wooden floor pieces and also had this inside inflatable keel that also does not want to stay in place.
 
well - I am not all that experienced with these inflatable’s - but modern Zodiacs do have "keel", are going nice in the sea even if I miss a little bigger pontoons and are OK up here in North -- but at least mine -- is not durable enough in the Med where I sail. Very strong UV there.
The Hypalon raft owners seem all to be pleased whilst the PVC owners have a somewhat wider range eg Talbot (Zodiac) and Felix (Plastimo) above are very pleased while my experience is shared with others even if it did not show in this round……
